<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have a closely associated group that uses the
Berbee product. While in general it works, there are concerns with how it is
setup. Basically, you call a number and then that number calls you back and then
you speak. The dial back is causing problems whereby if they happen to miss the
call and it goes to voicemail the prompt is played across all phones. Also, the
IP speaker supposedly does not have trunking capabilities and therefore requires
direct access to the voice network. Two issues you should consider.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm of the school of thought that says use a
product for what it was used for. I'd say install an amp and some speakers. ;)
By the time you get the RJ45 cables installed and you've paid for all the switch
ports and you've got your network multicast ready, is it really worth
it?</FONT></DIV>
